    Bromhopper

    I doubt it would go faster as it would handle horribly and give you some headset issues as the weight all sits on one point.

    Bike Forks?

    I don't clean my bikes much and it's just feel. I could inspect the bike visually but 30s on the bike and I will feel if something is wrong. Also some people have far too much money so why clean it when you can just buy another ect

    Availability of electric bike parts in the UK

    These are the holster things, I'm guessing a quid or so to make them but a huge gamble if you are making 1000s. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Leather-bike-lock-holster-for-U-lock-strap-holder-belt-olock-o-ulock-fixed-gear-/171033804039?pt=Cycling_Parts_Accessories&var=&hash=item27d268bd07...

    Availability of electric bike parts in the UK

    Some of the parts just aren't worth replacing to most people. Motor gears are a perfect example as the average person will replace the motor/wheel or take it to a shop instead of tinker for hours with an unknown part they might not get going again. I can think of a handful of things you could...

    Availability of electric bike parts in the UK

    It's a simple enough idea, they drop ship to your house or whatever and you resell. Just explaining others already do that and do it very cheaply. If you are talking about making your own bespoke parts in your own workshop then the regular cycling market is much larger.

    Would I pay double to have someonelse ship from china for me? No, others already ship from china and resell far cheaper than you plan to.

    E-triker from Brighton

    I was riding a recumbant that looked something like this. It felt amazing to pedal as you get far more power being in that position but then I remember a truck passing and my head being about level with the top of the wheel and then gradually I was noticing more and more how invisible/low I...

    Rear Brake Freezes

    I would check/replace the other cables too, they are all the same age on the same bike in the same conditions. If you have a wilkinsons near you they have decent cables for cheap. http://www.wilko.com/bike-accessories/wilko-rear-universal-brake-cable/invt/0011475?VBMST=brake%20cable

    E-triker from Brighton

    Looks awesome fun if you have the roads for it. Having done a short stint on a recumbant in the past I really haven't got the guts to ride something that low in traffic.

    Schumacher's Helmet

    Yes, if you are looking for a helmet that will protect the rider in a road traffic accident then they look like this. Years of study have made these the legal minimum for those riding motor scooters and motorbikes in traffic. You can't legally wear a bicycle helmet to ride a motor scooter at...

    Top Gun Fork maintenance query

    The video I tried to put up shows how to get them apart. Cleaning the uppers can only do so much when the dirt is getting inside and ruining them.

    Top Gun Fork maintenance query

    If you are lucky they will come apart enough to have a clean. Be careful when you do as cheap forks won't offer replacement seals/bits and you could break them and do more bad than good. If they are on the uber cheap end then they will have been made to push together in the factory and never...
